This online workshop focuses on the process of academic writing and highlights various methods, approaches, and strategies to get your research texts moving - whether for your dissertation or beyond. We will focus specifically on cumbersome moments in the writing process, when writing feels less productive, meaningful, or fun than you would like it to feel.

With plenty of time for reflection and experimentation, we combine insights from writing research with practical tips and peer discussion. Participants will address key questions to help them effectively shape their writing process and (re-)discover writing flow:

• How can I start, continue, and finish my texts?
• Is it really better to start writing early or wait until later?
• What writing tips, ideas, and exercises are out there, and which ones actually work?
• How can I overcome slumps in motivation and writer’s blocks?
• What keeps me from writing, and how can I address these issues?

This workshop is designed for researchers from all faculties who feel that their academic writing practice should improve. The only prerequisite is a willingness to reflect on previous writing habits and to experiment with new techniques to expand your repertoire and identify helpful strategies.

Contact person: Dr. Andrea Karsten
